Lionel and Monica Tuck
We would like to commend Dee Stevenson for the manner in which she did her work in finding us a new home in Waihi, thus making what is reputedly one of the most stressful times in life a good experience.
Dee listened to our requirements in what we were looking for and then proceeded to find us appropriate properties to view, without wasting time by taking us to properties that did not meet our needs. When viewing properties she pointed out all features, and then gave us space to make our own decision.
Once we had decided on the preferred property, we where very pleased with the extra assistance Dee gave is with local knowledge to point us in the right direction to find appropriate help to satisfy any concerns we had.
In all Dee acted in a very professional, timely and helpful manner throughout the process, and we would like to thank and commend her for this. Having now been here for six weeks we can honestly say we are happy with our choice, thanks to Dee for her help.

Dee was always there in every aspect of the successful consultant. We cannot speak anything but well of her dealings with the sale of our house.

Dee is one hell of a special lady as well as a proven, top real estate agent. She combines dogged determination and unstinting attention to detail with sincere friendliness and empathy (much appreciated by us over the past months). Her regular feedback, positive attitude and heartfelt reassurance were always delivered with her winning smile. Many times Dee went beyond the call of duty, putting us, her clients, first.
We would recommend her with complete confidence to any prospective vendor or purchaser.
Vanessa and Roger Twidle
Having listed our home with Dee we found that she provided exceptional service to us by ensuring that we were always fully informed of how things were going with house sales in the area and possible interested parties in our house. Dee gave us plenty of time of prepare when she brought someone through our home and when we did get an offer she went above and beyond our expectations to secure the deal.
Margaret Brewer
Dee has become more than a fantastic real estate agent - she has become a friend. I have never seen a professional person work so tirelessly to achieve her clients goals, all with helpful advice, encouragement and purpose. She has been outstanding in her work and I am so thankful she was recommended to me.
Her focus, attention to detail, insight and her ability to listen has made my moving a lot less stressful and whenever possible she has gone far beyond her brief in sheer helpfulness.

Not content with just being a deer farmer, John decided to branch out and become a real estate agent. This was in 1992 and over that time he has seen many changes in real estate in the Waihi region.
Waihi has grown in tourist potential and has seen prospective buyers come from large cities who want a quieter life in a small town that still offers the amenities of a big city.
John started his working life as a share milker on the family farm at Gordonton on the outskirts of Hamilton. The opportunity came in 1971 to purchase the family farm and with his wife, Helen had one of the highest producing dairy farms in the Waikato.
Looking to diversify, in 1979, John was one of the pioneering deer farmers in the Waikato. Deer fences were erected on the back part of the existing farm, a deer shed built and ten wild deer arrived. From that he has built a quality deer herd of 200 breeding hinds. He was part of the original Waikato Deer Farmers Committee and was on the national deer farmer’s executive council for a number of years.
1987 saw another challenge with a move with the family, to Waikino and a 90 hectare hill farm which was reconstructed into a deer farm with a few sheep and cattle.
Since living in Waikino he has taken an active part in the community such as: committee member of the Hauraki Rail Trail, construction of Waikino Memorial Bridge, chairman of the Waikino Victoria Hall Committee and organising the annual art exhibition, ARTWaikino.
John believes that clients want to work with someone who has a straight forward and honest approach. They also want someone who can give informed advice. This personal connection is made by listening to what clients require and then delivering.
John has been married to Helen for 48 years and has two adult children and four grandchildren. Apart from enjoying the country life he has budget travelled with backpack to Laos, Cambodia, Penang, Australia, Mongolia, England, Nepal and India. Each one of these trips was an adventure and adds to the appreciation of what is on offer around Waihi.
Seeing the potential that Waikino had to offer John and Helen have lived there for 30 years and their enthusiasm for the village has never waned. John takes delight in showing clients what the region has to offer and most of it is free!

Thank you for making our dreams a reality. You are a true gem in your profession!
Sheryl Van De Ven
It has been wonderful dealing with someone who has such high professional standards. You are a credit to your profession. You are able to keep a high standard while being friendly and honest. You put us all at our ease. You are easy to talk too and we never felt pressured and when asked a question you answered honestly. You went over and above trying to find the house for us which was not easy with four of us to please but you did it. Thank you so very much.

In October my property at 103 Barry Road, Waihi sold through your office and I am writing to express my feelings of gratitude. Lee Hazeldine was informative, caring and professional right through from the listing to the possession date. There was a lengthy time of negotiations between the purchaser, mine and myself and during this time Lee did a fair amount of communicating. I appreciated her dedication. You have a wonderful member of staff in Lee and she is a great representation of your business. I would recommend Harcourts Waihi to any persons wanting to sell their property in this area.
Thank you very much.
N & D Bricknell
Lee was very helpful - nothing was to much trouble for her. Lee was not pushy - she offered advice where needed and helped us with our final decision on buying. During the transition of our sale going thru she kept in contact with us on a regular basis to see if there was anything that she could do to help us. Lee does your company proud.

We wish to thank you for your time you have been giving us, your courtesy and the great help you have been. We will hopefully be able to repay you by recommending you as an agent to anyone we find who is interested in coming to Waihi.

Real Estate has always been of great interest to Paul and he is thoroughly enjoying his career with Harcourts specialising in rural and lifestyle properties.
The farming industry is well know to Paul as he has spent most of his working life as a dairy farmer in the Waihi area.
Paul is focused on a friendly and professional approach and has an extensive knowledge of the area and market trends.
Paul looks forward to meeting you and helping you to achieve a successful sale or purchase of your next property.

I have been part of the Waihi community for a number of years, where my partner and I have raised our five children with three still involved with schooling and local community involvement.
“After many years in the real estate industry, starting off in the administration role then moving into property management, I have always enjoyed the satisfied look on the faces of clients and customers when an agreement is completed, this being the reason why it makes sense that my next venture was to enter into the sales role. Like most things in business, it comes down to trust, and people want to do business with someone they can rely on - buying or selling a home is a very big deal for most people so they need to be confident that they will receive outstanding results.”
Having completed a National Certificate in Real Estate (Salesperson) Level 4 in November 2016, and the ongoing training and support that I receive from the most trusted brand “Harcourts” you can trust that you are receiving the most up to date rules and requirements and that you can trust that you are dealing with a property professional.
My passion is helping people, I have a positive attitude and work hard for a positive outcome for all my clients.

Hi
Just a heads up to those people who are out there looking for a home to buy or sell. Myself and my husband owned a house in Waihi. Which was a rental. After going to Harcourts and meeting Rhonda. We as most people were unsure of how real estate agents work. Well believe me we have met one agent whose name is Rhonda who went above and beyond our expectations. We live in Auckland and took time off to paint and carpet our entire house. RHONDA arranged for viewings around our work schedule and including helping with tracking things down that we were unsure of where to get them. We did ask of her the impossible task of selling our home with in the 3 to 6 month period. Well she defiantly did sell in that time line. RHONDA was also there to help us in our time of need when we lost a family member. Everything in the way of paper work was organized. And ready for us to do when we were ready. She had a very straightforward approach , which is what we wanted in an agent. I wouldn’t hesitate in asking Rhonda to be our agent again. Looking forward to catching up with Rhonda next time we are through Waihi.
RHONDA THANKYOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING A FANTASTIC AGENT. YOUR HELP AND GUIDANCE THROUGHOUT WAS VALUED VERY MUCH.
